Foreword to the Annual Report Department of Community Safety and Liaison 2012/2013

By Mr TW Mchunu, MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison: KwaZulu-Natal In the year 2009, the National Government and, indeed, the Government of KwaZulu-Natal identified the fight against crime and creating a safe and secure environment as one of its key priorities.

This, therefore, became a social contract that we entered into with the people of KwaZulu-Natal.

In pursuance of the fulfilment of this contract we have, working together with the people, achieved several milestones in the battle against crime and working towards creating a safe and secure environment for our people.

Mr T W Mchunu MEC:Transport, Community Safety While 2011/2012 financial year was dedicated to “People’s Action Against Crime”, during the year and Liaison

under review ( 2012/2013), we built on this theme and shifted the focus on the mobilisation of communities and squarely placing them at the centre of all efforts for fight against crime and isolating the criminals.

It was, indeed, the era characterised by intense and meaningful interaction with the communities as we intensified our efforts to forge and promote good relations between communities and the police.

Effectively, this involved creating an environment conducive to community safety partnerships as we were guided by the belief that the working together of government, community and police would take us even closer to achieving our set objectives.

Therefore, our framework during this gallant intensification of these efforts was appropriately dubbed “Accelerating People’s Action Against Crime.”

The focus in the year under review has been on the structuring and empowering of community participation in the fight against crime through the strengthening of Community Policing Forums, mobilisation of other voluntary crime fighting organisations.

These have now been assisted to set up their associations and we were also able to create an environment for them to operate within the law.

We are convinced that one of the biggest achievements, during the year under review, was the reconstitution of the KwaZuluNatal Community Policing Forum Board and the formation of the KwaZulu-Natal Community Crime Prevention Association.

Plans are also afoot to launch the KwaZulu-Natal Council Against Crime.

This will be an umbrella of all formations committed to waging a battle against crime. We are satisfied that never before have our communities been so mobilised and primed in the battle against the scourge of crime.

We have also continued to urge our communities to be the key partners in finding solutions to their own conflicts such a faction-fights and resolving differences of a political nature.

This initiative is driven through our programme of Communities-in-Dialogue. We hold a view that no matter what form the conflict takes, the best way to resolve it is for us as the department to assist the communities to find their own homegrown solutions. Only such solutions, initiated and owned by communities, stand a better chance of being sustainable and lasting.

At the centre of our work, there is Justice Crime Prevention and Security Cluster which provides us, as the government, with a useful platform to continue to horn out strategies on policy matters and emerge with informed interventions.

The work of fighting crime will never be over until an environment free of crime has been created in the province. Given our limited budget, in our pursuit of these noble goals, we continue to build a United Front Against Crime by forming partnerships with other stakeholders such as business and other relevant agencies.

As we extend our crime fighting initiatives to all levels of our society, from the Province, through the districts, local to ward levels, I remain very convinced that it is through such partnerships that the people of KwaZulu-Natal will eventually live in a safe and secure environment.

1.5. Accounting Officer’s Overview INTRODUCTION The department concluded a year that was marked by significant developments within the sector and achievements at line function level has set the tone for an exciting year ahead.

The Department of Community Safety and Liaison, under the able stewardship of its Hon MEC, T W Mchunu, dubbed 2012 as the year of ‘’Deepening People’s Action Against Crime”.

It was, indeed, a clarion call that urged and cajoled all of us into action as we redoubled our efforts in the mobilisation of communities against the scourge of crime and all its attendant destructive effects.

In all our efforts we were guided by our strategic vision of striving to ensure that the people of KwaZulu-Natal live in a safe and secure environment as we sought to be the lead agency charged with the critical task of driving the integration of community safety initiatives towards a crime free province.

Guided by these noble objectives, the year indeed, witnessed a hive of activity as we moved to fulfil our Constitutional obligation and moved to deliver on the social contract that we entered into with the people by the virtue of being voted into office. In all these initiatives we were driven by the belief that working together with the people we could do more in eradicating crime, isolating criminals and, indeed forging a motive force against criminality.

Annual Report 2012/2013

Indeed, the year 2012 witnessed a festival of activities largely characterised by the escalation of programmes that sought to harness positive energy of all crime prevention and crime fighting structures within communities. These included the formation of KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Community Policing Forum Board and later the KwaZuluNatal Community Crime Prevention Association in November 2012.

Driven by our belief that crime initiatives could not only be driven from the headquarters in Pietermaritzburg but that such measures needed to cascade down to all levels, a new structure seeking to decentralise our services to district, local and ward levels, was approved.

Efforts are currently underway to solidify and consolidate these efforts with departmental offices being envisaged in all districts in the province. All these remain work in progress.

STRATEGIC REVIEW REVIEW OF THE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE The process to develop the structure involved consultations with staff, organised labour, the Office of the Premier, the Department of Public Service and Administration, the Provincial Treasury and the Secretariat for the Police Service. It was a long and painful process, characterised by many amendments and re-consultation.

In analysing the constitutional functions of the department and the statutory functions of the Provincial Secretariat, it became apparent that the constitutional police oversight and community relations functions which formed the basis of the functions of the department previously have been incorporated into the statutory functions of the Provincial Secretariat under the Act. The revised structure distributes the 13 districts under five regions headed by senior managers. The regional groupings were based on the population, number of households, number of wards, number of local municipalities, number of police stations and geographical considerations.

Two additional directorates have been added under the Provincial Secretariat. The first additional directorate must perform the function of oversight over the Office of the Provincial Commissioner and Specialised Units as well as community police relations at a provincial level. This function has never been performed previously, but it is necessary to include same to fulfil the functions contemplated in the Constitution and the Act. The second additional directorate must perform the function of safety information analysis and conceptualisation which has to be done at a provincial level. This function is also one which has not been performed previously. The research function in the current structure focused on social crime prevention.The new unit will be the information nerve centre of the department. It will continuously collate information from all the service units in the department and use this information to review policing policies and directives, develop, evaluate and review community safety models, initiatives and monitoring tools, review police practices, methodologies and performance and conduct research into the policing needs of the province as required by the Constitution and the Act. At the district office level, the functions are Police Performance Monitoring, Complaints Management, Crime Prevention and Partnerships.

The department left the administrative support component largely unchanged. However, the revised structure provides for two additional directorates, i.e. the Directorate: Strategic Planning and Internal Monitoring and Evaluation and the Directorate: Intergovernmental Relations and Special Projects. Essentially, it took the functions of the Directorate: Special Projects and Inter-sectoral Collaboration and the Chief Director: Governance in the existing structure, which will be abolished, and divided it between two directorates to more adequately respond to the need for improving internal monitoring and governance identified in the various audit reports.

Annual Report 2012/2013

Department: Community Safety and Liaison Province of Kwazulu-Natal

GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster (JCPS) The JCPS have dealt with a number of issues. They include the following: a) the use of the Drager machine in drunken driving cases; b) the high death toll on the roads in KZN; c) rhino poaching; d) taxi conflicts; e) anti-foreigner sentiments; f) security vetting of officials in government; g) human trafficking; h) illegal immigrants; i) stock theft; j) cross-border crime; k) violence against women and children; l) issues in farming communities; m) street vendor rights and street children; and n) abuse of customary practices such as Ukuthwala.

Some of the successes of the work of the cluster are the following: a) finalisation of the cross-border crime strategy; b) the improvement of case-flow management in the courts through the Provincial Integrated Justice Forum; c) new courts are being built to address backlogs; d) Home Affairs has established registration desks in district hospitals and other major hospitals; and e) Correctional Services launched a pilot project in KZN for the electronic monitoring of parolees.

CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT Provision of police stations closer to the people is one of the measures to ensure safety for all. This area remains a challenge.The department is heartened by the commitment made by the Minister of Police in embarking on a drive to build more police stations closer to the communities they serve.

KZN has been plagued by an upsurge of political killings and property related crimes, inclusive of stock theft. The department continues to work harder to eradicate this scourge. The collaboration of the police, government departments, neighbouring countries and most importantly, the communities is critical in building a united front against these crimes.

The department evaluated police stations, verified CPFs, victim support centers and assessed specialized SAPS units.

The findings from these evaluations have been duly reported to the correct structures. They related to – a) shortages of vehicles; b) inadequate infrastructure; c) dysfunctional CPFs; and d) inadequate staff capacity.

Interventions were undertaken at underperforming stations such as Nondweni, Kingsley and Ekuvukeni.

The department continued to receive, assess and process service delivery complaints against the police. District teams deployed throughout the province have taken over this function and are now working from a local level to address service delivery complaints against the police.

Annual Report 2012/2013

Multi-Party Interventions During the year under review, the department reached out to the students at the University of Zululand, the communities of uMvoti, Msinga / Greytown, Ncemaneni, eMankwanyaneni, Obuka, Umlazi T-section hostel, Ethekwini ward 39 (Kwamashu hostel), Oshabeni (Port Shepstone), Emtshezi ward 8, Nquthu and Estcourt / Umtshezi.

The Multi-Party Committee cannot succeed on its own and therefore the department has called upon all political parties to give space to police to do their investigations properly on these matters, to educate their constituencies on political tolerance and democracy, to report criminals within their parties so that they do not hide behind political parties and to adhere to the principles of political freedom, democracy and community safety.

His Majesty, King Goodwill Zwelithini, initiated a Peace Process and a cleansing ceremony was arranged during December 2012. The event was aimed at curbing violence in the Province and also dedicated to reconciliation among political parties. This was followed by a Provincial Prayer Day on 27 December 2012 and on 28 December 2012,

by Umkhosi Woselwa.

Community Engagements The department has taken Operation Hlasela to Chatsworth, Chesterville, eMondlo, Gamalakhe, Hlazakazi, KwaNdengezi, KwaNyuswa, Lamontville, Ndwedwe, Nkandla, Nondweni, Nquthu, Madadeni, Mtubatuba, Osizweni, Paul Pietersburg, Pinetown, Pomeroy, Ward 1 in Sisonke and Umlazi South.

The various areas have crime challenges that are unique to their environment, hence the approach for interventions under Operation Hlasela vary according to the need. Some of the crime challenges dealt with are stock theft, stolen goods and family violence.

The launch of the Blow the Whistle programme was held at Ozwathini. This is one of the projects which will gain momentum in the near future as it encourages communities to be good neighbours as well as to act as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the police.

Communities-in-Dialogue Programme (CiDP) The Department mobilises communities through the Communities-in-Dialogue Programme (CiDP) to assume responsibility for peace, stability and creating safer places to live. The essence of the CiDP is creating a platform for dialogue and acceptance of responsibility to resolve inter- and intra-community conflicts. The methodology followed by the department in each case would depend on the nature and inherent cause of the conflict.

CiDPs have been held in the areas of Bergville, Dannhauser, Dukuduku, Emhlwazini / Magangangozi, Emthunzini, Ethekwini Municipal Hostel, Hluhluwe, KwaMakhutha, Mankwanyaneni, Maqongqo, Marian Ridge, Molweni, Muden, Muziwabantu, Ogungini, Ohuzane, Obanjeni, Umlalazi, Umzimkhulu and uMzumbe.

The department has had huge success in Dukuduku. Through this CiDP, two new representatives of the Dukuduku Forest were elected to serve on the Dukuduku Land Trust, namely Messrs Msweli and Sithole, which will substantially improve relations between the community, government and other stakeholders in the area.

Cross-border Crime Summit In August, through the department, the province of KwaZulu-Natal hosted a very successful Provincial Cross Border Crime Summit. The KwaZulu-Natal Government, led by Premier Dr Zweli Mkhize, joined forces with neighbouring countries and provinces in a bid to reduce the soaring levels of crimes occurring across the borders of the Province by hosting a two day Summit to deliberate and come up with a way forward in terms of dealing with this problem.

“Deepening People’s Action Against Crime”

Annual Report 2012/2013

The summit took place between the 16th and 17th of August 2012 at the Chief Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre. Its main purpose was to look at strategies that can be used to prevent crimes occurring across the province’s borders.

The summit delegates agreed to throw their weight behind seeking more improved solutions to border crimes and to form stronger partnerships between various states.

From that summit, the Minister of Police confirmed that a National Summit on cross border crimes would take place and this would be the ideal platform where the resolutions of the KZN Summit can be tabled as the province’s input. The summit further mandated the Government of KwaZulu-Natal to submit these resolutions to any other platform at which the matter of crime on our borders is debated.

Status of Programme Against Police Killings The department continues to take action when SAPS officials are either attacked or killed as part of the commitment to wage a serious war on criminals who target police.

As the province, we continue to implement the resolutions of the Provincial Summit on Police Killings that was hosted by the department in August last year.

Crimes Against the Vulnerable In support of Women’s month, the department held a women’s day programme in Durban South, educational women’s empowerment sessions in all Ugu local municipalities, an empowerment of women with disabilities programme at Ziphakamise and a campaign against violence directed at women and children at Watersmeet and Folweni. Women champions from Muziwabantu, Mzumbe, Mdoni, Vulamehlo and Zinqoleni were trained on parenting skills. A domestic violence and sexual abuse awareness campaign was held at Inanda.

The department also hosted a men’s summit in Ugu, a dialogue at Umbumbulu, a walk in Durban Central, a boysto-men inter-generational conference for schools in Ugu and a men’s conference in Umlazi.

School safety campaigns were held at Inanda Primary, Vukile, Cekeni, Ndumo, uMqhele, Magwababa, Bhevu, Sozabe, Nte, Mbali, Ohlanga, Franklin, uBuhlebemfundo, Manganga, Mthala and Botate schools as well as 10 schools in Durban South and 7 schools in Durban North.

Substance abuse campaigns were held at Westville Prison, Umbumbulu, Magabheni, Ntuzuma, Mpumalanga, Ntambanana, Empangeni, Esikhawini and Umzimkhulu. A child protection workshop for educators was held in the Hibiscus Coast.

The Sports Against Crime initiative is one of the programmes the department employs to encourage the youth to be involved in the fight against crime. Tournaments have been held at areas such as Isipingo, Lindelani and eMbo. Youth day celebrations were held at various areas such as Montobello and KwaNyavu Traditional Authority.

Other youth crime prevention programmes conducted included – a) mobilization of the Amaoti youth desk; b) life skills camp for youth at Umbumbulu FET College; c) Youth Against Crime campaign in Durban.

CRIME PREVENTION AND COMMUNITY POLICE RELATIONS Re-vitalisation of Community Police Forums and Boards The Steering Committee that was appointed by the Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service to oversee the re-establishment of the Provincial Community Police Board has, with the assistance of the department and the SAPS, finalised the new constitution and its adoption. Elections in terms thereof took place on 20 October 2012. The Constitution and the election process have set new national benchmarks. For the first time representation of the Youth Desk on the Provincial Board is provided for in the constitution to ensure a direct link to the youth.

The next phase of the revitalisation of the Community Police structures in the Province is replicating the abovementioned process in all the 25 police clusters under the leadership of the newly elected Executive Committee and re-established Board and thereafter doing so in respect of all the Community Police Forums. In order to ensure that the Board remains stable throughout this process, it is imperative that a systematic, piecemeal and thoroughly consulted approach be followed. This process will include re-establishing Youth Desks under each CPF under a sub-forum constitution.

Capacitation of CPFs The Thathulwazi programme is a departmental flagship project which started in 2006. The programme aims to empower CPF members so they can effectively fulfil their roles. Initially in 2006, after the department had completed the verification of all CPFs, the focus of Thathulwazi was to equip CPF members with the understanding of the concept of community policing.The department then resolved that the Thathulwazi programme will be divided into two, namely induction training, which will be facilitated on request by departmental staff, and a skills programme, which will be facilitated by FET Colleges.

The first skills programme that was offered was a Basic Computer Literacy Programme. This project targeted all the secretaries and deputy secretaries of CPF structures. The programme grew because of the CPF needs and the on-going interaction between the structures and the department. In 2008/9 and 2009/10, the department introduced the course of Basic Project and Financial Management because it was evident that there was a challenge in this regard.

Also during this time, the need for an accredited CPF capacitation programme was highlighted. Working towards this goal, led to the development of six new modules.These modules are Criminal Justice System, Conflict Management, Stakeholder Mobilisation, Civic Education, Victim Empowerment and Customer Care. This brought the total number of modules to eight. However, these modules need to be further strengthened in order to achieve the accreditation goal. This process will commence at the beginning of 2013.

The Thathulwazi graduation ceremony took place on 15 November 2012 and 96 participants graduated.

KZN Community Crime Prevention Association Historically, police have interacted with the community mainly through Community Police Forums. The challenge in this regard has been the disillusionment of the general public with ineffective CPFs. Simultaneously, people have also become despondent with sometimes perceived and at other times actual ineffective police service delivery.

Coupled with frustration with and desperation about crime levels, these factors have caused people to group themselves into voluntary crime prevention organisations. This presented both a challenge and an opportunity to government.The police was now faced with groupings of people who are largely unregulated and operating outside of the CPF structures and, at times, the boundaries of the law.

Annual Report 2012/2013

Department: Community Safety and Liaison Province of Kwazulu-Natal

However, section 18 of the Constitution provides that everyone has the right to freedom of association and the government therefore had to recognise the constitutional right of these organisations to exist as long as they operate within the confines of the law. Government also had to recognise that CPFs are not the only structures in existence which are concerned with policing and crime prevention and that in fact Chapter 7 of the South African Police Service Act of 1995 provides specifically that the South African Police Service may liaise with the community by means other than through community police forums and boards.

Section 206 of the Constitution requires the Provincial Government of KwaZulu-Natal to promote good relations between the police and communities. Building a bridge between the police and these other structures is therefore a legal obligation and the implementation thereof has become critical to effective policing and preventing people from taking the law into their own hands to their own detriment and that of their communities.

Moreover, section 3 of the Non-profit Organisations Act of 1997, requires, within the limits prescribed by law, every organ of state to determine and coordinate the implementation of its policies and measures in a manner designed to promote, support and enhance the capacity of non-profit organisations to perform their functions.

The department has therefore embarked on a programme to educate and capacitate voluntary crime prevention organisations to better understand the laws of our country and to organise themselves into legally recognised associations.

The education and capacitation programme included the facilitation of the formation of an umbrella body called the KwaZulu-Natal Community Crime Prevention Association (hereafter “the KZNCCPA”). The KZNCCPA adopted its constitution on 12 November 2012 and the salient aims and objectives of the Association are to – a) encourage social networking in the fight against crime within the confines of the law; b) promote broad public participation in government initiatives to fight crime, including taking part in CPF activities; c) foster partnerships with the Police Service, civil society organisations and business to fight crime; d) lead the campaign against police killings and police brutality; and e) promote good relations between the community and police.

On 13 November 2012, the Honourable Premier publicly launched the KZNCCPA at the Elangeni Hotel in Durban.

The launch was attended by representatives of the National Commissioner of Police, the Provincial Commissioner, the 25 SAPS clusters and various other stakeholders.

The department further concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the launch. The MoU provides for support to the Association, including in respect of its administration and training on crime prevention, the criminal justice system, financial management, computer literacy and administration.

Acknowledgements The success of the Department during a period of sustained pressure and uncertainty is not possible without the support and encouragement of all organizations and individuals who have given their unwavering support, time and energies. It is my pleasure therefore to record my appreciation and gratitude to the following: • • • • • • •

Annual Report 2012/2013

Overview of the organizational environment In pursuance of sections 17 and 19 of the Civilian Secretariat Act, the department has revised its organisational structure to provide for district offices in each district with service streams responsible for crime prevention and partnerships. One of the key result areas is the development and maintenance of community safety structures at district level. Cabinet and the Provincial Treasury have already approved the revised structure and the concurrence of the Minister of Public Service and Administration was confirmed on the 7 December 2012. It is anticipated that the first phase of the structure will be operational with effect from 1 April 2013. However, in the meantime, the department has employed six facilitators to establish community safety structures at a local and district level on a temporary employment contract basis.

2.1.6.

Key policy developments and legislative changes Sections 206(1), 206(3) and 206(5) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and sections 17 and 19 of the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Act, 2011 (Act No. 2 of 2011 and hereinafter “the Act”), require the Department of Community Safety and Liaison to – a) monitor and evaluate the implementation of policing policies and directives – section 206(3)(a) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(i) of the Act; b) monitor and evaluate all police service units in the province to determine their level of efficiency and effectiveness – section 206(3)(b) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(iv) of the Act; c) address complaints against police service delivery – section 206(5)(b) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(ii) of the Act; d) review police practices, methodologies and performance and make recommendations in respect thereof – section 206(5)(b) of the Constitution and section 19(e) of the Act; e) conduct research into the policing needs of the province and make recommendations in respect thereof – section 206(1) of the Constitution; f) develop community safety models, initiatives and monitoring tools – section 206(3)(c) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(iii) of the Act; g) develop and maintain community safety structures (e.g. Community Police Forums, Community Safety Forums, community crime prevention associations) and harmonize their activities – section 206(3)(c) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(b)(i) and (iii) of the Act; h) develop community safety partnerships to facilitate the implementation of community safety models and initiatives – section 206(3)(c) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(b)(ii) of the Act. Responding adequately to these functions required firstly the repositioning of the department’s strategic focus. Central to this re-positioning process has been the drive to ‘Build A United Front Against Crime’ (BUFAC). This is a call for the mobilization and involvement of all sectors of society in a concerted and sustained campaign to significantly reduce crime levels in the Province.

The department is driving this overarching departmental strategy through our vehicle “Operation Hlasela”, whereby government departments, safety structures and the community are being drawn together to collectively oppose crime.

Also, the revised legislative functions required the review of the organisational structure of the department.

COMMUNICATIONS The department continued to put emphasis towards creation of public awareness. As such the Communications sub-directorate worked tirelessly alongside the district operations and Operation Hlasela teams to ensure that more people were aware of and had information about the activities of the department. This was especially vital as district operations were beginning to gain momentum during this financial year.

In line with that, communication support was provided to numerous departmental and provincial events, including implementation of Communication Plans for events such as the Provincial Cross Border Crime Summit where the Premier and MEC’s were present.

Through the Communications Sub-directorate, the department was able to participate in provincial activities both on the Batho Pele front as well as inter departmental activities such as Izimbizo, Taking Legislature to the People, and different exhibitions.

One of the major achievements under Batho Pele implementation was the ability of the department to win a bronze trophy during the Premier’s Service Excellence Awards, ensuring the end to a dry season of receiving only certificates.

To encourage innovation and recognise excellence, during the business year-end review the department presented a number of awards in 9 categories to districts and directorates namely: • Best district in social crime prevention; • community mobilisation; • SAPS transformation/interventions; • Community In-dialogue programs; • Compilation of reports; • Community safety structures; • Complying with EPMDS; • Support function of the year; and • District of the year.

The department also had the pleasure of being recognised during the 2012 Annual Public Sector Reporting awards conducted by the Southern African Institute of Government Auditors for its previous year’s annual report; beating all other departments in the province.

As another channel for creating public awareness, the department continued to share talk features with the Department of Transport on Ukhozi and Gagasi radio stations. It also increased its outreach on community media as these channels are closer to the communities at the grass roots. This move ensured local media have access and intrust to activities of the department within their locality.

To ensure relevance of informational material which existed in the department, the sub-directorate went through a process of not only updating flyers such as the drugs chart, safety tips, complaints flyers but translated them in IsiZulu as well. This too was done to support the district operations in Building a United Front against Crime.

AUXILIARY SERVICES Auxiliary Service has during the reporting period conducted a needs assessment with regard the districts office space needed in line with decentralisation process as per the new organisational structure.

These documents were sent to the Department of Public Works for consideration and approval by PMPAC. Approval was obtained for 10 new vehicles to be purchased for utilisation as Pool Vehicles and 6 old vehicles were sent for Board of Survey to be disposed of as they had reached the end of their lifespan.

After having the telephone system damaged by electrical outages a new system was procured and installed to ensure business continuity and service delivery is espoused.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Notwithstanding being understaffed, the Information Technology Policy was reviewed and approved; the Business Continuity Plan was approved as well. The approved MSP is now being upgraded to government enterprise framework as per the King III standards. SITA monthly meetings are held to ensure that the Business Agreement and Service Level Agreement are maintained.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Organisational Development On 21 January 2010, the Hon Premier, Dr Zweli Mkhize and the MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison: Mr TW Mchunu, launched the “Building a United Front against Crime” (BUFAC) programme in KwaZulu-Natal. This programme brings together key role players in each municipal district to debate their crime challenges and to conceptualize integrated plans that will support crime prevention and crime reduction in the province. Operation Hlasela was then conceived to be the vehicle through which we will institutionalize the BUFAC Flagship Programme and maximize the impact of all crime prevention initiatives towards crime fighting at the local level Over and above the implementation of the BUFAC program the State President has signed into law, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate and Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Bills as Acts 1 and 2 of 2011 respectively on 12 May 2011.The President, by Proclamation No. 67 of 2011, determined 1 December 2011 as the commencement date of the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Act of 2011.

Section 16 of the Act requires the MEC to constitute a provincial secretariat for the Province, within 18 months after the commencement of the Act, to support and align the mandate of the provincial secretariat with the mandate of the Civilian Secretariat.

Due to the above the Department undertook a Work-study Exercise to align its structure accordingly.

PROVINCIAL PROGRAMMES Thathulwazi Sessions and Graduation Ceremony ZULULAND DISTRICT ACTIVITIES Zululand District consists of five local municipalities viz: - Abaqulusi, eDumbe, Nongoma, Phongolo and Ulundi. The district shares borders with Mozambique (North East) and Swaziland (Northern KZN) which pose a big challenge in dealing with cross border crimes. Zululand District is one of the most challenging areas to police in the province with high crime rate like stock theft, cross border crimes involving motor vehicles, drug peddling, proliferation of illegal firearms, influx of illegal immigrants and even human trafficking.

The area is vastly rural dominated by constant conflict between mostly white commercial farmers and farm workers and dwellers. Illegal evictions, dispute over land and farm killings are reported annually.

Political instability due to intolerance in areas like Ulundi, Nongoma, Vryheid and eDumbe provide a fertile ground for political killings and stock theft. Rape involving elderly women and children is a new emerging trend at Bilanyoni and Mondlo in particular. Taxi violence is also emerging at Ulundi and Nongoma areas.

Zululand district is leader in the province with regards to teenage pregnancy of school going age. One school in Nongoma, O-Suthu for instance broke a record with the highest pregnancy rate in the whole provincial schools. Sexual abuse of children by their own relatives like fathers, uncles, grandfathers and even brothers is not an unusual thing in Zululand.

As part of responding to some of the above challenges, the following activities were undertaken in the district:-

Police Station Evaluations: Six police stations were evaluated during 2012-13 financial year. Crime statistics and complaints are used as baseline for selecting stations for evaluation. The purpose of station evaluation is:• • • • • • •

To identify strengths and weaknesses which require improvements at police station.

To promote a shared understanding of what constitute success in terms of performance and impact on the local community.

To collate and disseminate good practices across the province and identify inefficient practices requiring redress.

To strengthen the culture of performance and learning at police stations.

To promote effective leadership and management.

To empower station management to reflect on their own strengths and weaknesses for continuous improvement.

To measure and establish whether the station is effective and efficient.

Outputs and deliverables Evidence based on Monitoring and Evaluation Reports.

Outcomes of Monitoring and Evaluation Exercise • • •

Number of complaints processed These are complaints directed at police service delivery coming from the members of the community.

District target was 24 but recorded complaints were 44 excluding some of the complaints which are never reported. In Vryheid Cluster for instance, community policing is not held in the highest esteem by most of the stations. CPF structures are dysfunctional and station commanders always make excuses about resources like motor vehicles and staff. Structures exist in principle but partnership policing is not meaningful. Most of these complaints are centred around the following areas:a. b. c. d. e. f. g.

56

Cases involving members of SAPS in domestic violence cases Police assaulting community members and taking alcohol on duty Corruption of police members with involvement in crime like stock theft, drug trafficking and collusion with criminals Racism and implementation of lopsided justice and defeating the ends of justice Failure to respond to crime scene when called out Stealing of firearms Failure to give feedback to the complainants “Deepening People’s Action Against Crime”

Betraying complainants to the suspects Reluctance to arrest or take action against crimes taking place on farms where Africans are usually victims of either assault, murder and illegal evictions Poor and shoddy police investigation of cases Political alignment of police officers in dealing with cases Abuse of state vehicles e.g. ferrying girlfriends, parking at shebeens and taverns, buying groceries and transporting their families

Number of safety structures established and maintained Presentation of BUFAC (Building a United Front Against Crime) concept to Phongolo municipality enjoyed magnificent support from all political parties. All councillors in the area under the leadership of the Speaker mobilised communities in their wards to allow Zululand Team to make presentations on the concept and establishing Street Committee structures with great success. It is for this reason that in all 14 wards of Phongolo, Zululand was successful to galvanise and mobilise communities into street committees. Reports and dates on this success are available in the office of the senior manager responsible for the district Number of interventions conducted to support CPFs. The following interventions were conducted:• • •

Steering committee established for the resuscitation of all crime fighting structures, weekly reporting progress 07-08 July 2012:Vryheid Thathulwazi 18-19 August 2012:Vryheid Thathulwazi

Number of interventions conducted to support Voluntary Community Crime-Prevention Associations (VCCPA) The following interventions were made in relation to the above strategic objective:• • •

22 July 2012: Attended and monitored Isikebe Gluckstadt Meeting 31 January 2013 Hlobane KZNCCPA Meeting coordinated by Department with Station Management 14 Feb 2013 KZNCCPA Meeting with Province, Vryheid Cluster Stations

The impact of the above intervention was remarkable in a dramatic decline of stock theft case at Hlobane policing precinct since November 2012 to date. The bridging of the gap and promotion of good partnerships between police and KZNCCPA yielded positive desired results.

Number of CPF and Youth Desk Induction sessions held The following induction workshops were conducted to assist members of CPF and Youth Desk to perform their duties well. This was also aimed at promoting good relations between the police and the communities served.

These workshops were only conducted in Vryheid Cluster though not sufficient considering the state of these structures in the districts. More workshops should be conducted in 2013-14 in Ulundi Cluster as well.

Number of School Safety Programmes conducted There was no target for the year set for the district; however the high rate of instability and high teenage pregnancy coupled with high rate of sexual abuse of women, children and teenage girls of school going age, more school safety projects should have been undertaken. This is one area which will be focused on in 2013/14 financial year •

20 Mar 2013: Sexual Abuse Awareness Campaign – KwaNongoma (Campaign launched due to number of sexual abuse offences in the area)

Number of Substance Abuse programmes conducted These initiatives are aimed at promoting safety among community members in the district. Their main focus is youth who are common denominator in crime which they usually perpetuate under the influence. Another challenge is that they are easily used by adult criminals to commit crime like stock theft, drug smuggling, theft and housebreaking even committing murder.

• •

13 October 2012: Mabedlane (Ulundi) Drug Awareness Campaign “Sport Against Crime” 22 December 2012: Ophuzane Sport Against Crime

Number of community engagements and interventions The purpose of this engagement is to roll out awareness & educational campaigns like Building a United front Against Crime through Operation Hlasela Launches, Stock theft, Taxi Violence, Community Conflicts, police Killings, School safety, Women and Children Abuse, Child Protection, Men for change and 16 Days of Activism.The following interventions were made with substantial impact as evidenced in the increase in DVA and abuse complaints. This indicated that communities have become aware of their human rights.

30 August 2012: Launch of Crime Awareness Campaign on the Elderly Local community 16 November 2012: Khuzomhlola – stock theft and anti-rape campaign (KwaLubisi) 22 November 2012: MEC’s Peace Walk – eBilanyoni (Ward 4) 14 December 2012: uPhongolo anti-rape campaign & stock theft 07 Mar 2013: Launch of Peace Prayer Against Crime Campaign – Paulpietersburg

Number of Communities in Dialogue (CIDP) peace-building interventions conducted The purpose of these interventions was to create effective community safety initiatives whereby communities were empowered to employ peaceful means to resolve their conflict and differences instead of using violence. It was also aimed at galvanising and mobilising communities into crime fighting associations to respond to the scourge of crime in their areas. A number of spin offs were enjoyed out of these interventions as more and more people came forward with information on crime trends and criminals in their areas. Police raids in shebeens during festive season resulted in a very peaceful festive holidays in 2012. Effective communication between the department officials who received calls from communities after which officials call station and cluster commanders expedited police response to most incidents of crime. Police became aware they are closely monitored which lifted their performance.

Effective Utilisation of Volunteers at District Level The accountability of the Volunteer Programme has been one of the big challenges facing the department. In Zululand Districts all volunteers were audited in terms of their wards, voting districts and municipalities. All volunteers report in War Rooms of their wards and VDs. A number of workshops were conducted on the job description and duties of volunteers in Zululand. Their work was linked to local police stations under Crime Prevention Unit. Uniform reporting template for volunteers was developed. An up to date data base of all volunteers was developed and sent to the provincial OSS Coordinator in the Office of the Premier. Zululand District conducts Quarterly Audits on deployment of volunteers and submits these reports accordingly. Zululand Field Officer visit all War Rooms to monitor if volunteers do attend them. In the last quarter, all volunteers in Vryheid Cluster had to submit reports on their participation in War Rooms. These reports are in line with provincial OSS standards.

This initiative promoted accountability and made volunteers more responsible and productive. Again this revealed a number of volunteers who had to be removed from the programme because they were either working elsewhere.

Annual Report 2012/2013

The Effectiveness of Internal Control The systems of internal control are the responsibility of the department’s management and are designed to provide effective assurance that assets are safeguarded and that liabilities and working capital are efficiently managed. In line with the requirements of the PFMA and the principles of the King III Report on Corporate Governance, the Internal Audit Function provides the Provincial Audit and Risk Committee and the departmental management with assurance that the systems of internal controls are appropriate and effective. This is achieved by means of the risk management process, as well as the identification of corrective actions and suggested enhancements to the controls and processes. From the various reports of the Internal Auditors; and the Report and Management Letter of the Auditor-General on the Annual Financial Statements, it was noted that the systems of internal control and financial internal controls were not effective and inadequate in certain areas for the entire year under review as control deficiencies were detected in the following significant areas: • • • • • • • •

Supply Chain Management Asset Management Contract Management Fleet Management Subsistence & Travel Allowances Human Resource Management Volunteer Social Crime Prevention Project Information Technology General & Application Controls

The quality of “In Year Monitoring” and monthly / quarterly reports submitted in terms of the Treasury Regulations and the Division of Revenue Act The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee was satisfied with the content and quality of monthly and quarterly reports prepared and issued by the Accounting Officer and the department during the year under review except for underspending of the budget by the Department.

Audit of Performance Information The monitoring of the department’s performance is a key function of the executive management of the department. The Provincial Audit & Risk Committee has no direct line of responsibility over the department’s performance. However, the Provincial Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring, principally through the Internal Audit Function that the systems of performance management, measurement and reporting; as well as the systems of internal control that underpin the performance management framework of the department, remain robust and are reviewed routinely in the internal audit plans.

The Committee has accepted the responsibility of ensuring that adequate reporting on performance information is in line with its mandate and charter.

The Committee reviewed the Internal Audit and Auditor-General reports relating to Performance Information and noted the following material deficiencies: • •

Lack of procedure documents to address performance reporting requirements Lack of adequate documentation to support achieved outputs.

Internal Audit Function The Provincial Audit & Risk Committee provides oversight and monitors the activities of the Internal Audit Function. Consequently, the Committee is able to report on the effectiveness and efficiency of the function.

Annual Report 2012/2013

Department: Community Safety and Liaison Province of Kwazulu-Natal

The function was effective during the period under review and there were no unjustified restrictions or limitations. The Committee will in the forthcoming year, monitor progress to ensure that the Internal Audit Function continues to add value to the department and achieves its optimal performance.

Risk Management Function Risk Management is a proactive discipline that is intended to provide reasonable assurance that the department will achieve its objectives.

During this financial year, the Committee reviewed risk reports of the department on a quarterly basis, with particular focus being on: • • •

Reviewing the Risk Maturity Gap Analysis Report as compiled and presented by the PIAS to determine if this department has key structures and policies to take over its risk management responsibilities.

The result of this analysis was discussed with the department’s management, and the department was advised to build its internal risk management capacity through, among other things, the appointment of a Risk Manager at an appropriate level – i.e. the Risk Manager should be appointed at level 13 and should report directly to the HOD. Reviewing progress report on the implementation of risk mitigation plans. The department was urged to finalise the outstanding risk mitigation plans and to update its risk register with completed risk mitigations plans and emerging risks.

Other Governance Issues As part of its governance responsibilities, the Committee also monitors the fraud prevention strategies that have been developed and implemented by provincial departments, and these responsibilities include monitoring the implementation of recommendations arising from forensic investigations.

During the period under review, the Committee noted that the department had 1 investigation that was completed and 1 investigation in progress at year end, all of which were conducted by the Provincial Treasury’s Internal Audit Function.

The department was urged to implement recommendations arising from the completed investigation, and to provide the Internal Audit Function with a detailed list of all other investigations being conducted internally or by other relevant authorities.

Evaluation of Financial Statements The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee reviewed the Annual Financial Statements of the Department, as well as the Auditor General’s management report together with management’s response thereto.The Provincial Audit and Risk Committee concurs and accepts the Auditor-General’s conclusions on the annual financial statements, and is of the opinion that the audited annual financial statements be accepted and read together with the report of the Auditor-General.

Annual Report 2012/2013

REport of the Accounting Officer for the year ended 31 March 2013 Report by the Accounting Officer to the Executive Authority and Provincial Legislature of the Republic of South Africa.

1. General review of the state of financial affairs The Department of Community Safety and Liaison, under the able stewardship of its Honorable MEC, T W Mchunu, dubbed 2012 as the year of ‘’Deepening People’s Action Against Crime”.

It was, indeed, a clarion call that urged and cajoled all of us into action as we redoubled our efforts in the mobilisation of communities against the scourge of crime and all its attendant destructive effects.

In all our efforts we were guided by our strategic vision of striving to ensure that the people of KwaZulu-Natal live in a safe and secure environment as we sought to be the lead agency charged with the critical task of driving the integration of community safety initiatives towards a crime free province.

The Department ended the financial year under review with an overall expenditure of 84.12%. The under-expenditure is attributed to the non-filling of vacant funded posts and the continued implementation of the provincial cost containment strategy. In addition, the department embarked on an extensive cost saving drive to ensure that there was adequate savings to finance the implementation of phase 1 on the new organizational structure.

1.1. Policy decisions and strategic issues facing the Department The Department derives its mandate from Chapter 11 of the Constitution. Section 208 of Chapter 11 states that, ‘a civilian secretariat for the police service must be established by national legislation to function under the direction of the Cabinet member responsible for policing’. To give effect to this provision of the Constitution, the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Act, 2011 (Act No. 2 of 2011 and hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), was enacted.

The President, by Proclamation No. 67 of 2011, determined 1 December 2011 as the commencement date of the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Act of 2011. Section 16 of the Act requires the MEC to constitute a provincial secretariat for the Province, within 18 months after the commencement of the Act, to support and align the mandate of the provincial secretariat with the mandate of the Civilian Secretariat.

The Act therefore required the department to revise its organisational structure to ensure alignment with the functions contemplated in the Act. It is a standard in organisational development that structure follows function. Any organisation must therefore first determine its functions before it can embark on determining its structure. The same holds true when an organisation embarks on an organisational review.

The functions of the department were therefore revised in accordance with the Constitution and the Act. These functions emanate from section 206(1), 206(3) and 206(5) of the Constitution and sections 17 and 19 of the Act. They are the following: a) b) c)

66

Monitor and evaluate the implementation of policing policies and directives – section 206(3)(a) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(i) of the Act; Monitor and evaluate all police service units in the province to determine their level of efficiency and effectiveness – section 206(3)(b) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(iv) of the Act; Address complaints against police service delivery – section 206(5)(b) of the Constitution and section 17(2)(a)(ii) of the Act; “Deepening People’s Action Against Crime”

1.2. Significant events Over the past 12 months, there have been fundamental developments affecting both the mandate and strategic direction of Department.

On the 7 December 2012, the Minister of Public Service and Administration signed off on the new approved organogram of the department.

1.3. Major projects Further details related to non-financial achievements are exemplified in the main section of the annual report.

Reasons for under-spending: The Department has not been able to fill all of the vacant posts due to the impending finalization of the organization structure in pursuance of the decentralized approach of service delivery. Also, the Department maintained the implementation of cost-containment strategy.

Impact on programmes and service delivery: The department has been able to achieve most of its targets and in some instances exceeded its targets. Service delivery on key projects has not been hampered.

Planned actions: The department has undergone a restructuring process and a new organogram was approved on the 7 December 2012. As a result, several posts will be evaluated and existing positions will be subjected to a matching and placing exercise.

The revised structure distributes the 13 districts under five regions headed by senior managers. The regional groupings are based on the population, number of households, number of wards, number of local municipalities, number of police stations and geographical considerations.

Two additional directorates have been added under the Provincial Secretariat. The first additional directorate must perform the function of oversight over the Office of the Provincial Commissioner and Specialised Units as well as community police relations at a provincial level. This function has never been performed previously, but it is necessary to include same to fulfil the functions contemplated in the Constitution and the Act. The second additional directorate will perform the function of safety information analysis and conceptualisation which has to be done at a provincial level. This function is also one which has not been performed previously. The research function in the current structure has been focusing on social crime prevention. The new unit will be the information nerve centre of the department. It will continuously collate information from all the service units in the department and use this information to review policing policies and directives, develop, evaluate and review community safety models, initiatives and monitoring tools, review police practices, methodologies and performance and conduct research into the policing needs of the province as required by the Constitution and the Act. In terms of the newly constituted structure, the following functions will now be performed at a district office level: Police Performance Monitoring, Complaints Management, Crime Prevention and Partnerships.

The department left the administrative support component largely unchanged. However, the revised structure provides for two additional directorates, i.e. the Directorate: Strategic Planning and Internal Monitoring and Evaluation and the Directorate: Intergovernmental Relations and Special Projects. Essentially, it took the functions of the Directorate: Special Projects and Inter-sectoral Collaboration and the Chief Director: Governance in the existing structure, which will be abolished, and divided it between two directorates to more adequately respond to the need for improving internal monitoring and governance identified in the various audit reports.

Annual Report 2012/2013

REport of the Auditor General for the year ended 31 March 2013 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO THE KWAZULU-NATAL PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON VOTE NO. 9: DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SAFETY AND LIAISON REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Introduction 1.

I have audited the financial statements of the Department of Community Safety and Liaison set out on pages 79 to 125, which comprise the appropriation statement, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013, the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets and the cash flow statement for the year then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Accounting officer’s responsibility for the financial statements 2.

The accounting officer is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Departmental financial reporting framework prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and Division of Revenue Act of South Africa, 2012 (Act No. 5 of 2012) (DoRA) , and for such internal control as the accounting officer determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility 3.

My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), the general notice issued in terms thereof and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

4.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the department’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the department’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

5.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Annual Report 2012/2013

Department: Community Safety and Liaison Province of Kwazulu-Natal

Opinion 6.

In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Community Safety and Liaison as at 31 March 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Departmental financial reporting framework prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the PFMA and DoRA.

Emphasis of matters 7.

I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Irregular expenditure 8.

As disclosed in note 35 to the financial statements, irregular expenditure of R13,80 million was incurred in the current year as a result of proper procurement processes not being followed.

Material under spending of the vote in accordance with the purposes for which it was intended 9.

As disclosed in note 4 to the appropriation statement, the department has materially under spent its budget by R 25,442 million due to savings within the Administration as a result of not filling vacant posts and the stringent implementation of cost cutting measures. This under spending relates to an amount of R4,716 million in programme 1; R2,263 million in programme 2 and R 18,463 million in programme 3.The department will be decentralizing its operations into 13 districts and is currently in negotiations with Department of Public Works to identify suitable district offices.

Additional matters 10.

I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Unaudited supplementary schedules 11.

The supplementary information set out on pages 126 to 130 does not form part of the financial statements and is presented as additional information. I have not audited these schedules and, accordingly, I do not express an opinion thereon.

Financial reporting framework 12.

The financial reporting framework prescribed by the National Treasury and applied by the department is a compliance framework.The wording of my opinion on a compliance framework should reflect that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with this framework and not that they “present fairly”. Section 20(2)(a) of the PAA, however, requires me to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements.The wording of my opinion therefore reflects this requirement.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 13.

In accordance with the PAA and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I report the following findings relevant to performance against predetermined objectives, compliance with laws and regulations and internal control, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion.

“Deepening People’s Action Against Crime”

75

community safety & liaison Department: Community Safety and Liaison Province of Kwazulu-Natal

Annual Report 2012/2013

Predetermined objectives 14.

I performed procedures to obtain evidence about the usefulness and reliability of the information in the annual performance report as set out on pages 15 to 61 of the annual report.

15.

The reported performance against predetermined objectives was evaluated against the overall criteria of usefulness and reliability. The usefulness of information in the annual performance report relates to whether it is presented in accordance with the National Treasury’s annual reporting principles and whether the reported performance is consistent with the planned objectives. The usefulness of information further relates to whether indicators and targets are measurable (i.e. well defined, verifiable, specific, measurable and time bound) and relevant as required by the National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information.

The reliability of the information in respect of the selected programme is assessed to determine whether it adequately reflects the facts (i.e. whether it is valid, accurate and complete).

16.

The material findings are as follows:

Usefulness of annual performance report 17.

There were no material findings on the annual performance report concerning the usefulness of the information.

Reliability of selected programmes in the annual performance report 18.

The National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI) requires that institutions should have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets.

•

The information presented with respect to programme 2: Civilian oversight was not reliable when compared to the source information and evidence provided.

This was due to a lack of standard operating procedures for the recording of actual achievements and the department did not implement and fill the organisational structure required to report on performance.

19.

The National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI) requires that institutions should have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets.

Significantly important targets with respect to programme 3: Crime Prevention and Community police relations programme are: •

Not reliable when compared to the source information and evidence provided.

This was due to the lack of frequent review of validity of reported achievements against source documentation.

Compliance with laws and regulations 20.

I performed procedures to obtain evidence that the department has complied with applicable laws and regulations regarding financial matters, financial management and other related matters. My findings on material non-compliance with specific matters in key applicable laws and regulations as set out in the general notice issued in terms of the PAA are as follows:

Annual financial statements 21,

The financial statements submitted for auditing were not prepared in accordance with the prescribed financial reporting framework and supported by full and proper records as required by section 40(1)(a) of the PFMA. Material misstatements of disclosure notes items identified by the auditors in the submitted financial statements were subsequently corrected and the supporting records provided, resulting in the financial statements receiving an unqualified audit opinion.

Procurement and contract management 22.

Goods and services with a transaction value below R500 000 were procured without obtaining the required price quotations, as required by Treasury Regulation 16A6.1.

Expenditure management 23.

The accounting officer did not take effective steps to prevent irregular expenditure, as required by section 38(1)(c)(ii) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 9.1.1.

24.

Contractual obligations and money owed by the department were not settled within 30 days or an agreed period, as required by section 38(1)(f) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 8.2.3.

Internal control 25.

I considered internal control relevant to my audit of the financial statements, annual performance report and compliance with laws and regulations. The matters reported below under the fundamentals of internal control are limited to the significant deficiencies that resulted in the findings on the annual performance report and the findings on compliance with laws and regulations included in this report.

Leadership 26.

The accounting officer and management did not exercise oversight responsibility regarding financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations relating to procurement and contract management.

Financial and performance management 27.

The department did not have documented and approved internal policies and procedures to address the process of collecting, recording, processing, monitoring and reporting of performance information. The accounting officer did not ensure that regular, accurate and complete financial and performance reports were prepared, which were supported and evidenced by reliable information.

Crime Prevention and Community Police Relations was under-spent by a significant R18,463 million, due to the following: • Non-filling of posts pending the finalisation of the organisational restructuring.

• The department was unable to finalise its decentralisation operations at district level due to the fact that the new organogram was only approved on 7 December 2012.Thus spending plans, such as the leasing of district offices and the associated administrative expenses, relating to its new strategy were negatively affected. Fortunately this did not hamper service delivery since the targets were achieved.

The balance of the under-spending is attributed to the EPWP Conditional Grant. The grant was under-spent by R881 thousand due to the late finalization of the list of new recruits. The recruitment process involves conducting security checks and approvals by local bodies. The department has approached the custodian department, namely the Department of Public Works to explain this problem and the new allocation has confirmed that the department will be in a position to spend its new allocation. In fact, the department has put together its recruitment plan and this is available from the project manager.

Variance as a % of Final Appropriation R’000

Compensation of employees was, at 82.5 per cent of budget, under-spent by R7.899 million due to the non-filling of posts, as explained in detail above.

The under-spending against Goods and services is attributed to: Cost-cutting, particularly on stationery and printing.

Households was over-spent by a minimal R6 000 due to unanticipated staff exits.

With regard to Payments for capital assets: Machinery and equipment was, at 46.6 per cent of budget, under-spent by R677 000. The underexpenditure is a result of the non-purchase of a vehicle. This was due to the department being satisfied with their current vehicle capacity. Furthermore planned purchases of machinery and equipment relating to furnishing and capacitating district offices as part of the new decentralisation strategy was put on hold until the new financial year, due to the organogram only being approved in December 2012.
